Personal finance blog that makes you save or earn a little at the time. Simple frugal living.
This is a very good book about the power of journaling. It has some weaknesses, I found a few chapters very out of place in “Writing Your Soul Down,“ they seemed inserted there just for the sake of making the book longer (like the whole chapter about different names of God). But the actual core […]
I found this book to be a fascinating case study about human nature. Oh yes, this is the story about financial instruments and a big business catastrophe, and the author tried to explain the complex mechanisms of financial instruments in details. I applaud him for efforts, but not for the end results. I studied economy […]
This is a very subjective list, with my subjective opinions. The books I’ll mention literally changed my life. There is not an ounce of exaggeration here. The Slight Edge I read this book on the 10th of August 2012. I’ve read several thousand books in my life, but this is the only date in my life I […]
I think that overall “The Power of Habit” was so-so book, when it comes to the concept of changing one’s habits. There are many better positions about this and free content of much higher quality. But. Charles Duhigg made an enormous service to the society as a whole by popularizing the concept of habits in […]

The older I get, the more I value true accounts over fiction. When I was a kid I read historical fiction books by the hundreds, no exaggeration. I wolfed those books and they filled my head with adventures and heroism. Now I prefer to read true stories and shake my head in amazement at common […]
Nothing new under the sun, right? Well, yes and no. The ‘practice makes master’ adage was around for centuries. What The Talent Code does with it is takes it to the biological level. And I appreciate that very much. This book had some downsides and some upsides. Traditionally, let’s start from… CONS 1. Narration. […]

In this post, there are two reviews, not one. And there are not usual reviews of business / personal development books usually posted on ExpandBeyondYourself. The first one is a brilliant autobiography and the second is an awesome thriller. The Man Called Red This is very a good book. The writing style is rough, but […]

I loved this book. Mind you, I didn’t have balls to write my own Food Plan and commit to it 100%, but I still love the concept. Just writing the Food Plan down will help you realize how much ambiguity you allow in your life. And this grey area is where you truly fail. I […]

I liked this book very much. It’s so holistic and comprehensive and it makes so much sense! First of all, The Daniel Plan was in complete agreement with my personal experience and what I studied about health and fitness. Which, BTW, is so rare. Many health “gurus” toot only their own horn that their system/diet/workout […]

This book is brilliant. I cannot decide what I loved most about it – whether it was the superb conversational tone, amazingly solid business advice or that Allan actually preaches what he practices (which happens depressingly rare nowadays). Are there any flaws in “The 1-Page Marketing Plan?” Only perceived ones and only a few. Let’s […]
